On the black chick, she (I hope) is quite a bit smaller than either of her hatchmates. Much smaller than Chickzilla and a little smaller than Copper. I think she is lovely. (thinking positively on the SHE)
Thanks for the input. I guess now I'll just wait an see. The two EE boys are clearly boys by their feathers at 10 weeks, and one is trying to crow. The dark one with the red on his wings is shyer than the white one. I'm just hoping they can live in peace with 12-14 hens.

I was trying to see feathers on each of the birds. Not sure I can make them out but will try to give opinions.
I agree that chickzilla is a boy! I gotta say I love those colors. Not sure about copper. I did have a blue gold laced brahma out there that could be Copper's father as well if she is showing a lot more foot feathering than the others. If not I'd say her daddy is also the orpington boy.
Very nice birds Sharol. I think you got a decent share of females in there.
